From Obesity To Anorexia To Fitness Barbie: Cool, Right?

Lola Pahkinamaki, 24, from Turku, Finland, had a harsh time growing up with her parents being alcoholics and her grandfather taunting her about her appearance and weight. All of this made her eating way too much, which ultimately resulted in obesity. But at the age of 15 she decided to leave this hell, and started eating healthily and working out. In just a year she was in perfect physical form, but couldn’t stop and literally starved herself to become anorexic and to be hospitalized at the age of 18. But at the age of 19 she learned to embrace herself as she is, returned to her perfect self and became a nutrition trainer and a “Fitness Barbie”, as she likes to be called in honor of the doll which inspired her through her childhood.
